About Life Fitness
What started as one man's pursuit to improve his own physical condition, eventually turned into a global fitness revolution. That man was Keene P. Dimick, the mastermind behind the legendary Lifecycle® exercise bike. The story of Life Fitness began when two young entrepreneurs, Ray Wilson and Augie Nieto, saw the promise of Dr. Dimick’s invention. Even though it was slightly ahead of its time, they believed the Lifecycle exercise bike could help generations of athletes, trainers, exercisers, and people everywhere live happier, healthier, and more fulfilling lives.

Wilson and Nieto bought the rights to the Lifecycle bike from Dr. Dimick, perfected it, and sold it out of a motor home to health clubs across America. Despite the overwhelming odds and initial unpopularity of the Lifecycle exercise bike, the two passion-filled pioneers turned a two-man operation and a seemingly impossible vision into a prosperous reality. Along the way, they shaped the future of Life Fitness as well as the fitness industry, bringing cardiovascular training into the mainstream and helping ignite the health club boom.

Today, Life Fitness is the global leader in designing and manufacturing a full line of reliable, high quality fitness equipment for commercial and consumer use. It is the number one brand of fitness equipment in health clubs worldwide.

1.0 out of 5 stars beware the X7, February 16, 2010

This review is from: Life Fitness X7 Elliptical Cross-Trainer with Advanced Console (Sports)

While I agree that the performance of the X7 was initially great (it's a great workout and offers good customization), it is not a durable product and I would not purchase it if I had it do again. I have had it for a little over 2 years, and the unit has been broken 5 times due to the malfunctioning of the stride adjustors, which Life Fitness knows are defective due to a design defect. Whenever this happens, the unit becomes completely unusable, for weeks (sometimes months) while parts are being ordered to have it fixed. Not to mention the fact that their warranty only covers labor for one year, so that each time it malfunctions I have had to pay over $100 in labor to have it fixed. And then, it works for a few months, and then breaks again, restarting the whole cycle . . .

Just bought the X7 life fitness elliptical. We have had this for a week. My whole family is using it. Nice smooth and quiet piece of equipment that gives a good workout. Only bad thing is unit is large and heavy. Has wheels in case you would like to move it. would recommend this unit. when we decided on this unit we tried many others including other name brands. the family all agreed this was the best. a little pricey but worth the money

Replaced our broken treadmill with this product. It is great! Unbelievably quiet. We looked seriously at the comparable precor product, and thought it was good as well. Liked the feel of the lifefitness better. I can't wait for my next workout.
